| meta-gplv2 |
| ========== |
| |
| This layer contains a set of recipes corresponding to old, obsolete versions of |
| software that are GPLv2 licensed where the upstreams have moved to GPLv3 |
| licenses. |
| |
| These were part of OE-Core until it was realised they are a ticking timebomb |
| with regard to security updates and general maintenance. By splitting into a |
| separate layer, it's hoped people realise these may not be the best solution to |
| the "no GPLv3 problem" and it should also make it clear there is a different |
| quality of service applied to these recipes. |
| |
| For now, they do continue to get minimal testing by the Yocto Project, but this |
| will eventually be stopped, with anyone wanting to use them taking up the |
| maintainership. |
| |
| The current maintainers for the layer are Ross Burton <ross.burton@intel.com> |
| and Peter Kjellerstedt <peter.kjellerstedt@axis.com> |
| |
| Where to Send Patches |
| ===================== |
| |
| For now, patches should be sent to the Yocto mailing list with [meta-gplv2] in |
| the subject line. Before sending, be sure the patches apply cleanly to the |
| intended target branch of the Git repository. |
